Day 2: Aidan Schneider (Kicker) & Michael Carrizosa (Punter)
STANDOUT KICKERS
Eddy Pineiro (Florida) – Eddy is an incredible talent that has NFL written all over him. Look for Eddy to follow up a tremendous freshman year with another strong sophomore campaign.
Tristan Vizcaino (Washington) – Tristan may just be the most talented all around specialist in the nation. His ability on field goal, kickoff and punt is off the charts.
Garrett Owens (Iowa State) – Garrett is primed for a huge 2017 season. The transfer from Oregon State has great NFL ability and he is nails mentally.
Aidan Schneider (Oregon) – Aidan has put together one of the strongest field goals percentages in the history of college football over the past 3 seasons. Expect greatness this season.
Blanton Creque (Louisville) – Blanton is as smooth and accurate as they come. He hits a pure ball and has excellent range. Blanton should be in the Lou Groza Award conversation by seasons end.
Andrew Gantz (Cincinnati) – Andrew is one of the best kicker in the nation. Very smooth kicker that dominates under pressure. Andrew should challenge the best in 2017.
Jack Gonsoulin (LSU) – Jack is a big time talent. He hits an NFL level ball and does well under pressure. Look for Jack to make some noise at LSU this year.
Cole Murphy (Syracuse) – Cole continues to make big strides. He has great ability on both field goal and kickoff. Look for Cole to have a big season this Fall.
Cole Tracy (Assumption) – Cole has proven himself during the season (7 FG’s in one game… twice) and proved himself once again at this camp against the big name college guys. He is simply a great kicker.
